1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Bonjoorno, my wonderful listener, my dear listener, I hope you 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: are feeling amazing. I hope that you feel the love 3 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: of God and everything that you do today. That you 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: see God in the plants in the sky and the 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: sun and the moon and the stars. That you feel 6 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: the presence of the Great Spirit today. That's my wish 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: and my prayer for you. May the universe give you 8 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: a big healing hug. So I'm here sitting on my 9 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: meditation Matt. The sun is coming through my bathroom window 10 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: because that's where I meditate in my restroom. I don't 11 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: know why. It just feels very safe for me. I 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: have a little altar here, and I love getting sun kissed. 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: It feels so nice. Banchho's joy today. He's sitting right 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: at my feet, and I wanted to share my devotional 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:13,279 Speaker 1: with you today. Today is the three hundred and eighth 16 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: day of the year. I know we're almost at the 17 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: end of the year. It's so crazy. So the title 18 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: is today I am more alert to the needs of others. 19 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: How self sabotaging is my selfishness when I look but 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: do not see the suffering of others. To seldom do 21 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I notice the courage of those who wake up each 22 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: day and do their best with painful circumstances. Today I 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: will be more alert to the suffering of others. It 24 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: is hard to face in ourselves the trait of self centeredness, 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: but in facing it, we are saved from it. The 26 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: only way to truly love ourselves is to open our 27 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: hearts to each other. Generosity toward others is an act 28 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: of self interest, for in loving others, I attract more love. 29 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: May no one else is suffering be meaningless to me 30 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: that I might know the meaning of life. Free me 31 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: from a selfish heart. Amen. And the reason I wanted 32 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: to read this one to you guys is because, as 33 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: we all know, there's a lot going on in the world. 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: There are people starving, being starved intentionally every day, if 35 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: not every other day or way too soon. They're being bombed, 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: and lives are being taken, women and children and men, 37 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: and it's just so sad. And the States we're dealing 38 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: with immigration reformation in a very inhumane way. In my opinion, 39 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: we may not have the same beliefs, but I think 40 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: that as human beings we should at least not celebrate 41 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: people suffering. Good feel compassion. I'm a very empathetic person. 42 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I feel everyone's feelings, and I'm working on neutralizing that 43 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: a little and finding balance in that. But I feel 44 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: that people are losing a bit of sensitivity. We're being 45 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: what's the word desensitized. I think it's desensitized with everything, 46 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, we see way too much. Some people don't 47 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: even care. Some people laugh, some people say yeah, good, 48 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: they deserve it. And I just could never even if 49 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't agree, even if I don't understand, because usually 50 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: it's not understanding where the problem lies. It's not even 51 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: wanting to try to understand where the problem lies, in 52 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: my opinion, So all I'm saying is, let's look outside 53 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: of ourselves and our situation and yeah, maybe we're fine. 54 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: Maybe yeah we have played on. I mean, maybe we 55 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: have food on our plates and money in our accounts 56 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: and a roof over our head, But there are people 57 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: that don't. Instead of just turning the other cheek, send 58 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: positive vibes, send love and light, and if you can't 59 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: do that, at least don't laugh at them. At least 60 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: don't celebrate people suffering. And that's all I just had 61 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: that in my heart to share with you. Guys, I 62 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: have a feeling that my listeners are amazing, and you 63 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: guys are probably a lot like me. Even when I'm 64 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: on the freeway and I see an accident that just 65 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: happened yesterday, I was extending my hands and praying for them, 66 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, God, I hope they have insurance. I hope 67 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: they're okay. I hope they didn't get too hurt or 68 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: hurt at all. You know, I always do that. I 69 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: could just drive by it. It's not my problem. But 70 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm sending love and light and prayers and good vibes 71 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: to them because I never know, and God forbid that's 72 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: me next time, you know. And that's the way we 73 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: got to see things. It's paying it forward, and it's energetic, 74 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: and what we give is what we get. And we 75 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: just have to keep that in mind and do it 76 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: from a pure place. Not do it because it sounds right, 77 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: or do it because I'm telling you. Let it sit, 78 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: let it marinate, and see how you feel and see 79 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: if it's something that comes naturally and a desire that 80 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: grows more and more inside of you. But always do 81 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: everything from a pure place, from a genuine place. But anyway, 82 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: like I said, I think you guys are wonderful. But 83 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: if this is something you think someone in your life 84 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: needs or they need a little more compassion for others, 85 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: send it to them. I'm saying this with love and 86 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: respect because I always want the best for you, guys. 87 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: I want the best for us. I'm learning, I'm growing 88 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: every day, and as I learn, as I grow, I 89 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: share everything with you, guys. So thank you for being here, 90 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: thank you for listening, and go kick but today go 91 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: do it.
